Chelseys coming home this weekend and I have projects galore for her and anyone willing to help...look out my dear its 'wedding frolic' time. So much more to finish.....Oh my what a list, its going to be a beautiful wedding though.
Wedding planning is so much fun especially when you are unleashed to be creative. It is a chalenge to try and mimmick exactly what the Bride and Groom want their special day to look like, however, I have learned some of the neatest tricks along the way trying to do so. I so enjoy it!
I have a true pasion to create, I know this because I never tire of it. If I could get up every morning and make a decent living from it alone, that would be my dream job. I know there are alot of you out there who feel the same way. Some who are more tech savy have done just that, made it their dream job. Others of us just continue the only way we know, but with the same pasion and love for what we do. I would love to find a way to walk everyone through the process with an easy way of learning step by step, utube videos, linking, building blog sites...web sites, and I am sure countless other ways to get what we do out there and make a living at doing what we love and are gifted at.
My time is currently spoken for....wedding deadlines are closing in on me....time to get my creativity going again. Although, after this special day, I will check into Tech school for creatively gifted people...Im sure some such thing exists, doesn't it? And I will make my pasion... my gift, more than what it is. As someone very dear to me once told me, " you missed your calling", I intend to find it. Blessings to all you crafters out there you have blessed me with all your ideas and enthusiasm. Keep crafting!

A big shout out to my daughter in-law Allison Grace Tucker!
By the way don't you just love her full name...
...she surprised me one day with a labor of love...
You see, I am not very good at this blogging thing. I couldn't even figure out why people couldn't join/follow my blog....not sure I got it right yet. LOL
........Any hoo.......I was so frustrated with it all I kinda quit blogging.
And then Allison emails me, with one of the most frustrating things for me to figure out,
An awesome BANNER....WOO HOO,
I was so excited and look at it.... isn't she awesome...!
Thank you Allison Grace... you don't know how you blessed me! You are brilliant!
Grandma and Tucker
I just returned home from a blessed week with a beautiful baby boy!
Tucker
What a good little guy he is, full of happy smiles and inquisitive looks as he discovers his surroundings. I had lots of Grandma time and he certainly kept me busy with lots of fun. Little Tucker Beckham Bray is as sweet as the day is long. He's sleeping through the night and growing like so fast. 
He really enjoys his bath time every night....
and is a real cuddle bug
especially after bath and bottle!
Of course I had to try all the clothes on
I had made him..He's almost grown out
of them :)
We took the Bob out walking at a local shopping center, as well as the neighborhood near home, all which are beautiful in Carlsbad. The weather was perfect although we got caught once in a bit of a surprize drizzle. We enjoyed stopping along the way to watch the kids swimming in the pool and shared time with close neighbors. I didn't make it to the beach ...but we will next time, he'll be a little older then. The week flew by and of course grandma hated to leave.
Wedding Shower Fun
One more shower...this one was for Chelsey, a beatiful bride she will be!
Shelby did an awesome job on pulling it together quickly...we were running out of dates that would work for us all. Even still we missed some of you who had prior commitments, although the shower was still a huge success.
A good friend of ours, Cherrise, offered her backyard which was perfect for the event, with a shabby chic garden style tea . Thank you Cherrise for your graciousness extended once again, we love you for all you are in our lifes!
The tents were made for Shelby's wedding by my husband. He, by the way often gets drug into theses projects and always rescues us in our attempts to create what we can't. I had collected lace panels from local thrift shops for another project we are doing for the wedding ( I'll show at a later date). I held some aside to use as curtains on the backside of two of the tents, mainly for the look. We all know Cherrise's yard doesnn't need covering...with all the florals and plantings and the quaints play house, it truly lent to the overall look perfectly. The bare wire lamp shades with crystal chandeliers hung from each tent and added more shabby chic looks.
The vintage china plates and tea cups,
part of the collection for the wedding,
came in handy for the morning tea
Butter croissants and cut fresh fruit provided by Stacey. Our Teas were blueberry, cranberry and peach..served from quaint tea pots with sugar and cream. We served raspberry lemonade in
I made these net food coverings Ill have to show later the picture is not good. I toolamp shades and stripped them down to the wire and found this fabulous netting material to cover them with, added an anthropology drawer pull (I swiped from my daughters room) and walllla....functional and ver chic.
extras, napkins cups and saucers as well as the beautiful cupcakes made by Freda.
The cupcakes, hydrangea and roses, not only looked amazing they tasted amazing, raspberry was my favorite, although the lemon was wonderful too.
Chelsey received many thoughtful gifts and was genuinely overwhelmed by all. Thank you again to everyone attending as well as all the help in blessing Chelsey with this event.

came in handy for the morning tea
and brunch. Our menu consisted of 2 delicious egg dishes with mini muffins prepared by Kristen. I made an assortment of muffins, bannana, apple cinnamon and blueberry cream cheese. Home made jams & jellies, bluberry pecan & raspberry, made by Aunt Janie, Alot of love......
